GPT and cryohydrocytosis: [47] These two observations might have resulted in a lower cutoff TE value for patients with CHB compared with patients with CHC. Thus, physicians should be aware of the pitfalls of TE, such as false negativity or lower cutoff values resulting from macro nodular cirrhosis and thin fibrous septa, and false positivity or lower performance resulting from high ALT levels. [48] Accordingly, TE results should be interpreted within the clinical context.
